Chad, when you see news that a Peter Thiel and a Softbank are selling Nvidia, and these leaders at these two companies are some of the most plugged-in leaders in the entire world. Like what’s the read through there for you?

00:16 Chad

Well, I mean, there the read through is that perhaps certain select companies valuations are distorted and they’re just taking some risk off their portfolio. Uh, but they’ll perhaps many of these venture capital funds will reinvest in more aggressive or other opportunities within AI. Uh, you know, you just have to look no further as Pateer for example, as a a symbol of what kind of valuations investors are willing to pay. At 100 times revenues, you know, these these some of these valuations are mind-blowing. But then you get seams of opportunity in other companies that are perhaps more, I believe, you know, down back to basics like the IBMs and the Microsofts of the world.

01:14 Speaker A

Despite the the sell-offs Chad, uh over the past few weeks in AI, the reality is AI is getting built out aggressively. Infrastructure is getting built out aggressively across this country. Should investors simply annoy or just ignore ignore these ups and downs in these stocks and make a a just a a focus on the the decade of build out here and that’s the real potential?

01:43 Chad

I I think that that is the real potential, but one needs to be balanced within their portfolio. So you could have a company like a Microsoft and an IBM alongside perhaps other companies that are not technology stocks. Valuations when it comes to the broader markets are historically high. Credit spreads are historically tight now between high yield spreads and treasuries. So this isn’t the time to perhaps lean into risk in an aggressive manner at this one at this point in time. One needs to be more balanced.
